CRUISE CONTROL: NEW ZEALAND
“W
here is everyone?” Not
a statement you’re often
likely to hear on a mega
ship that carries 3000 passengers, and
more than 1250 crew.
But the area on Deck 5, near the
Cafa al Bacio on Celebrity Solstice was
strangely quiet with just a few people
sipping coffee, and slinking back into
big, enveloping arm chairs.
And except for meal times,
disembarkation for excursions and
the nightly scrum for shopping and
music on Deck 5, it seems that there
is an equal disbursement of the
ship’s population through the cabins,
recreation areas, restaurants, outdoor
play area and the pools.
So any nervousness at being at
the mercy of noise, crowds and
overwhelming activity schedules are
put to rest on Celebrity Solstice.
The ship is a stunner and once you
can release yourself from the cabin, or
its balcony – you will be spoilt for choice
on how to spend your time onboard.
This is a trip beginning in Auckland
to cruise into some of the best ports
in the southern hemisphere. There are
10 nights to enjoy a splendid ship that
will entertain and wine and dine you,
and days to explore the beauty of New
Zealand.
After a night in Auckland, embark,
unpack and explore the ship. Mmmm,
book for the Aqua Spa, a beauty
treatment; set up a routine for the
amazingly well-equipped gym; sign up
for a variety of courses – wine tasting,
a photo marathon, art enrichment,
iPad instruction...best go to lunch at
Oceanview Cafe and drop into the
Gelateria afterwards – well, heck, the
gym isn’t going anywhere.
Next stop will be cruising through
The Sounds of
Solstice
Viewing the coast of New Zealand
from the sea is a bonus of beauty
from this stunning country. And
being on a ship able to manoeuvre
around the fjords is a thrill.
